Nintendo has released an update for Animal Crossing: New Leaf in Japan. Once applied, it’ll fix communication issues and other problems. All players can download the patch for free.


Two of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s tools are not yet available through the eShop. The Data Transfer Program, which allows users to move saves between the Wii U and 3DS versions, is missing in action. So is the Packet Relay Tools download that makes 3DS online play possible.

Both are coming very soon, Capcom has said. The company “is working closely with Nintendo to make these available for download as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.”

Level-5 may very well have intentions to localize Fantasy Life for western markets. A trademark for the 3DS game in Europe was filed in Europe, possibility hinting at an overseas release.

If Fantasy Life does in fact head overseas, it’ll be interesting to see which publisher distributes the title. Will Level-5 handle publishing duties itself? Or will it team up with another company?
